Changes of Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal: 500 words

My hometown is in Hangzhou. There is a canal in Hangzhou, which is called "Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal". If Hangzhou is a girl, then the canal is a striking ribbon on the girl. ||||| In the past, Hangzhou people lived here. I don't know when their furniture broke down, so I lifted it and threw it on the canal. Whoever has more old clothes will pick them up and throw them into the canal. Whose trash can is full, pick up the trash can and come to the canal to pour the garbage into the canal; Whoever has a dirty mop will pick it up and wash it in the canal. In this way, the canal has become a natural dumping ground for people. The river is dark and smelly, with all kinds of bottles and jars floating on it, instant noodle boxes floating, pairs of old shoes floating, and even poor little fish floating. Everyone passing by will frown and say, "It stinks! It stinks! " Then walked away quickly. |||||| Later, people thought it was time to protect the canal. Slowly, everyone stopped throwing unwanted old things and rubbish into the canal. One day, a salvage boat came to the canal, and gradually, gradually, the river became clear. Clear enough to see the sand and stones at the bottom of the river bank, clear enough to see the aquatic plants in the river, clear enough to see the small fish playing freely in the river. Stone dams were built on both sides of the canal, stone fences were built, and green trees and red flowers were planted. In spring, flowers bloom. In summer, trees are shaded. In autumn, maple leaves are like fire. In winter, it is a beautiful picture covered with snow. In the morning, the old man with ruddy hair and childish face practiced kung fu by the canal. In the evening, people who had been busy all day came to the canal for a walk and chat, and the lovely children played happily. The Grand Canal is our mother river. We should love it, protect it, build it and make it more beautiful. |||
